OOC: Storefront is still closed

Kravoli being an island state has always needed a higher than average coastal patrol capability. Until now, million of dollars were being pouring into buying, servicing boats bought from other nations. Now we have no need for patrol boats from other nations, The Enforcer Class Patrol Boat is the end results of 2 years of research and the first boat of it's class will be starting sea trails within the next 2 years.

Only one picture has being released of the craft that clearly shows that it is a catamaran and not much more

Even we do not know that figure. The first of these vessels has yet to start sea trails so any figure we give you will only be an estimate, but we can tell you that it is FAST, VERYFAST.


This is to let perspective buys have a glimpse of the ship before it officially goes on sale in 2/3 days time.

The ship has started sea trials and has desplayed great handaling caracteristics with a Dash speed of 65Knots being reported by the crew.

So far only minor problems that can easily be fixxed have been reported and all seems well for a quick World Wide release.

perhaps you could release a price

The remmonlands are most interested in finally acquiring a navy that isn't consistent of 2 small frigates and a minelayer.

Therefore we will consider buying a reasonable quantity of these patrol on a number of conditions:

1) it is possible to mount either laser or Maser weaponry on the vessel

2) you actaully have a reasonable price.

in addition we are willing to offer the production of laser and/or maser weaponry to be mounted on a variant of this vessel.

This vessel can you almost any weapon, the intended weapons of use are machine guns, Laser weapons could be a problem because of there large power use.

As a price I was thinking of 20Million for the basic hull. But as ive never sold boats i need advice.

In agreement with the Points of Condemnation (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=113842) of the nation of TROUSRS:

Following TROUSRS' massacre of civilians in the Burnsian Desert, the government of the Federation of United Microstates asks that Kravoli and other nations do not engage in any commerce with TROUSRS.

Any chance of creating a personal/transport version, i'd like to purchase then, the only problem being with my economy being well lets say not so good I may only be able to purchase 1 or 2 would you accept a trade of technolgy blue prints?

Why kravoli, of all nations you should know i have Chemical lasers, tough by now i'm also making extensive use of electrical lasers and maser weapons.

as for your power worries, a small fusion reactor can replace the diesels and an electrical engine can drive the waterjets, it would probably save significantly on space however would mean that the boat goes from modern to modern-future, since it is equipped with fusion tech and possibly a maser (fusion tech is future tech, however since it only replaces what would otherwise be done by a gasturbine or a diesel, it's not much concern, the maser is definately future tech and important, whereas the electrical and chemical lasers are both possible with modern technology tough they are considered to be very near-future tech)
